Clothe yourself in LOVE! Colossians 3:14-15

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

    Colossians 3:14-15 "AND ABOVE ALL THESE THINGS PUT ON CHARITY WHICH IS THE BOND OF PERFECTNESS. (15) AND LET THE PEACE OF GOD RULE IN YOUR HEARTS, TO THE WHICH ALSO YE ARE CALLED IN ONE BODY: AND BE YE THANKFUL."
  We should clothe ourselves with love - this is the glue that holds us together.  As Christians we should live in peace.  Living in peace does not mean everyone suddenly agrees with you on everything, but it does require that loving Christians work together despite their differences.
   Clothe your self with LOVE.  We become wrapped up in our own little world about "ME" and not about any one else.  We have road rage, we worry about many material things that will rot or deteriorate, we are frustrated because people are not doing as we think they should.
   Love is the glue that holds all the things Paul tells us to put on together.  We should be able to, through Jesus Christ, put away sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, greed, anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, dirty language, lying and put on the signs of love: mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and forgiveness.
   There are six signs of love; pick one to emphasize each day, then when Sunday comes, reflect back and see how that worked for you.  There are 10 sins listed above, put away or place 2 a day in the hands of God - let him rid you of these while adding 1 sign of love each day.  Anything done without love only creates confusion and distortion.
   Paul tells us that we must decide between conflicting elements by using the rule of peace.  What will promote peace in your soul, in your body of believers?  Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
